2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BU14 GVZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 88,792 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where recurring wear and tear issues were flagged. While the history shows some reactive repairs, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical concerns identified in earlier testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation of use, with a 9,761-mile gap between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 9,669 miles covered between January 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and braking systems to prevent premature corrosion or seizing-related failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension, as the record highlights a persistent history of thin pads. The 2024 test flagged thin front pads, while the 2025 test noted thin pads on both rear nearside and offside sides. Despite the 2026 pass, the buyer should verify the remaining pad life and check for uneven disc wear or potential binding calipers. Additionally, the 2023 failure regarding a split CV boot necessitates a thorough visual check of the nearside front drive shaft to ensure no grease leakage or ingress has occurred, which would lead to a costly joint failure if left unaddressed.
